Any good starter tutorials to making mods for QW?

My skill level:
Can make a qw map
Can code C/C++
Knows how the compiler works
Knows where to find QW source files
Knows what a qwprogs.dat is

Just need some simple guidance to get started and evolve from there I think or die trying

I dont know anything about that, but a mod like portal the game could be fun for some coop and singleplayer maps.

And i guess you already have something else planned, but if not. ;-)

Would love to both play and make some tricky portalmaps for qw.

*edit: i missed you post about Qonquer ;-)

Actually wanna make a mod like Storm for shootmania Portal sounds nice

Can't even figure out how to test the few things I changed, in ezQuake, nothing happens at all. Like it's not running the mod when using gamedir

Just mentioning the obvious:

http://quakewiki.org/wiki/Getting_Started_Modding
http://www.moddb.com/games/quake/tutorials

But good luck and maybe create a document for others with your findings. I can't be of any more help :/

This forum will probably help you more. The FTE client has CSQC (client side QuakeC) support for instance. I'd recommend heading over there, they are mod-happy

Thanks. Thats a good start

I would say, just think of simple things to change, and just try to do them. You got a great head start on a lot of people who have never dealt with code or map entities before

Found out a few things

Made a railgun and some changes to the rocket launcher

good stuff dude, keep it going

yea, as for modding you will be better in other forums (already mentioned).
plus these
Func Msgboard

Guess you already know. But it's here for vanilla quake

Maybe it could be ported to QW

Or maybe instead of porting (portaling? lol) to QW, engineer your own version?

Look at:

- teleports
- PutClientInServer ()
- pos_save and pos_move (not QuakeC, KTX is some kind of quake 1 VM, but could give you a hint)
- How new entities like rockets are put into the world (spawn ())

Yes, but someone has to start somewhere
